What is the IKKI?
The IKKI was founded by Elder Grand Master Makua Steve Spry in 1994. The mission of the IKKI is to be a home for those students of the Martial Arts who for whatever reason have lost contact with their Master. Grand Master Spry welcomes all Martial Artists no matter what system or style they have studied. Under the IKKI, students have continued to learn and grow, not only in the Martial Arts but also in their personal lives.
